Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

If the person was taken away rashly, it would inevitably be embarrassing for a nobleman.

Damian, who got the confirmation, excitedly raised his arms and cheered in the corridor.

"Haha, if Spa knew this news, he would be so happy!"

"Why don't you go back and tell him the good news?"

Karl said jokingly.

"Yes, I'll be there right away!"

Damian immediately ran out of the corridor, while Karko watched him leave with a look of nostalgia on his face.

The friendship between young people!

After shaking his head with a little emotion, Karko walked into the house and comforted the resentful Kuirat.

After packing up everything, she took Remedios and Quilat to meet up with Fluder.

As for Kulev, although his training at the Eastern Great Wall front was delayed for a while due to the pioneering order, he set off after Karko and the others left.

There he will receive the highest baptism of a Holy Kingdom warrior, and will also meet two people with the same talent as him.

Time passed quietly, and almost another year has passed.

Spa had been taken to the Empire to study a long time ago. During this year, he made exceptionally rapid progress in magical craftsmanship, and even came up with a new idea by combining it with the Empire's research.

Just as he was about to run to Karko and tell him about this thought, he suddenly saw an extremely unexpected scene.

[Fourth-level Angel Summoning]

A huge angel holding a huge mace in his right hand and a shield in his left hand appeared in the house.

At only eight years old, and in a few months to be nine, Karl had successfully entered the fourth level of magic.

In other words, Karl's level at this time is at least... Lv. 22!

22

Chapter 22 How did you do it?

Karl couldn't help but clench his fist, looking extremely excited.

How long has it been? How long has it been?

Five years! You know how I spent these five years...

Sorry for the interruption.

Two years! In just three years, I have completed the level that would have taken eight years to achieve!

This is absolutely the best news for Karko!

Haha, I didn’t expect that I’m actually a genius of this level.

For a moment, a smug expression appeared on the girl's face. She danced with joy and looked extremely arrogant.

It even made Kuirat, who was standing next to him, put his hands on his hips and purse his lips.

Seeing this, even Remedios beside him could not help but swallow his congratulations silently.

Compared to Karko's rapid progress, Kuirat is still at the third level and has been lingering in this realm for nearly half a year.

Although compared to ordinary people, Kuirat's talent is equally sharp, but it is slightly inferior to Karl.

After all, it is not so easy to cross the third level to the fourth level. It took Kuirat more than a year to go from the second level to the third level, and the time for the third level will be even longer.

Moreover, Kuirat has been practicing magic skills recently, so it will take even longer.

It was then that Kalco suddenly realized why it took his original body eight years to reach the fourth level. Maybe the first level only took one year, the second level took two years, but the third level might even take four years, plus the time wasted by the princess's social engagements.

How difficult it is!

Realizing this, Karko immediately took the initiative to pick up Kuirat.

"Hey, Xiaokui, don't be so angry. How about I practice magic with you every night from now on?"

Remedios on the side turned his head away in disgust and continued with his training.

Now she is almost eleven years old. As her body gradually develops, her strength has also been slowly improved. Coupled with the strengthening of her magic aura, Remedios feels that her overall strength is now at the Mithril level (level 18-20).

As for martial arts, they are probably at the orichalcum level (level 21-23). The Paladin's magic is still at the third level, but it is on the edge of the fourth level, which is roughly between Lv.19 and Lv.21.

It seems that the progress of magic is slower than that of martial arts, but this is not because Remedios is not talented in magic. In fact, she is an all-round genius in the field of Paladin.

Although he knew nothing about other magic, the Paladin had always been able to learn magic very quickly.

The reason why I have been slow in martial arts recently is simply because I have spent less time on regular training.

Compared to Karko and Kuirat who only need to study knowledge in the field of magic every day, Remedios not only has to exercise and practice martial arts, but also practice magic.

The blue bar of martial arts is called concentration capacity, and the blue bar of magic is magic power.

Practicing either of these two is extremely demanding, and Remedios must be talented enough to persevere in this area.

However, after reaching the fourth level, Remedios's magical journey came to an end, because the pinnacle of the Paladin magic field in the entire Northwestern Continent was the fourth level.

Although Karko estimated that the brilliant angel Cat~Meow must have higher-level magic, she had no way to teach it to Remedios for the time being.

In other words, when Remedios reaches the area before the Paladin legend of the entire continent.

In comparison, among the three, Kuirat is the weakest. No wonder the girl feels a little dissatisfied.

Kuirat is indeed very smart, but intelligence sometimes cannot be linked to mentality, not to mention that she is very strong-willed.

Although her sister is two years older than her, this does not affect her current situation of being at the bottom of the list.

To her, it felt like she was holding the team back.

But now seeing Karko running over to comfort him, Kuirat let out all the negative emotions in his heart with a long breath, then turned to congratulate Karko.

"Congratulations, Karko, but you must remember to keep your word!"

That’s right, she also wants the magic instruction every night!

Karko chuckled and immediately patted Kuirat's shoulder in agreement, but then she noticed from the corner of her eye that Spa was standing at the door, unable to go in or out.

"Why are you here, Spa? Is there something wrong?"

Karl asked with concern.

Unlike the extremely unsociable situation in the Holy Kingdom, Spa, a talented magic caster with superior magic craftsmanship, can feel like a fish in water in the Empire.

In addition, with Fluder's care, except for some confidential knowledge related to the empire, basically all other knowledge is open to Spa.

As a result, although Spa's magic level has not reached the third level, his magic craftsmanship is better than many third-level magic casters.

The most important thing is that Spa was not bullied much during his time in the empire, so apart from occasionally coming to give him gifts and chat, he basically spent the rest of his time in the library.

This was the first time that Karko saw Spa running towards him in such a hurry.

"Your Highness, I..."

Spa looked at the people in the room and couldn't help but look back.

Although the corridor they were in at this time was not empty, there were only a few maids lingering here and there.

Spa's eyes fell on the maids.

Kuirat immediately realized something and walked forward to pull Spala into the house, then quietly closed the door. Everything was so silent.

While Spa was still struggling, Karko came to Spa in tacit understanding, and Kuirat also followed. Remedios, who was practicing sword at the side, came to the door with his eyes slightly closed and stood guard.

At this time, no maid outside the door noticed anything wrong and came to eavesdrop.

"Tell me, Spa, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Spa was stunned at first, then nodded quickly. As he spoke, he took out a clay doll from his arms. It looked quite delicate.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, please take a look at this."

Karko looked at the doll in Spa's hand. Its limbs were so thick that they were even as wide as its waist. Its head seemed to be pressed against its chest by something.

It looks full of unique style and an inexplicable handsomeness.

Especially since there was a red rune reflected on his forehead.

However, when they saw this rune, Kalko and Kuirat couldn't help but look at each other.

Then Karko slowly stretched out her hand. She felt a faint magical power lingering on the entire doll, especially on the rune on the other's forehead, where she felt a stronger magical power.

This rune continuously spews out magic power like a fountain.

"Spa, you... have learned the Rune and used it in..."

"Used on Graeme?"

At this moment, even Karko could not hide the surprise on his face.

how did you do that?

Chapter 23 What a genius!

Since there are no so-called data crystals like those in the YGGDRASIL game, such as the damage +1 that can be added to weapons to obtain clear effects, the magic technology in this world was developed by the natives themselves.

Related magic techniques can also be roughly divided into two categories.

One is magic infusion, which is to keep a magic spell fixed on a certain item and use it only once every certain period of time, or the magic caster can replenish the magic power by himself and release it multiple times.

The other is to use more materials to give a magic item a constant magic effect like enchantments in a game.

For example, effects like sharpness, enhanced mental resistance, etc.

The former is an outbreak, and the latter can be said to be permanent. No matter which one it is, there is no doubt that it is a very magical technique.

That is spending money.

Whether it is magic infusion or simple material enchantment, materials with magical power need to be involved in this process.

Of course, if there are places that naturally gather a lot of magic power, special magic props or magic weapons may be born. Even when weapons are made of metals containing magic power, the weapons will automatically have certain magical effects.

You can continue to enchant later, but this may often cancel out previous effects.

Among these many magic props, the one with the best cost-effectiveness is the magic scroll, and the one with the lowest cost-effectiveness is undoubtedly Gram, which is a special magic puppet.

Even though there are Graems made mainly of cheap materials such as wood and clay, if you want to make Graem truly move, you still need a large amount of magical materials to enchant it and give it spirituality.

But even after paying a large amount of magic materials, a Gram of this level can only understand some simple commands. For some nobles, the price of making a Gram is enough for them to buy two or three manors and matching servants.

If that's the case, then why do they bother to study Graeme?

Moreover, the difficulty of enchanting Graem increases proportionally. Although subsequent high-level Graems may reduce the cost of enchantment materials because of the use of magic metals, how big is a Graem?

To put it simply, a person of the same size weighs more than 100 kilograms, so what does it mean to weigh more than 100 kilograms of magic metal?

There are only four magical metals commonly used by humans: platinum, orichalcum, mithril, and steel.

Even if it is the lowest grade of platinum, if someone can get more than 100 kilograms, then Carl is considered to be financially strong. If it is the latter three types, I am afraid that even the kings of various countries will not be able to resist greed.

The Paladins of the Holy Kingdom Temple have a set of silver enchanted full-body armor. It is made of fine steel, but the total weight is only 60 kilograms. More than 100 kilograms of magic metal are enough to make two sets, maybe even more than enough.

This enchanted full body armor is the temple's most precious treasure, and is usually only given to the leader of the Knights Templar to wear.

So in the eyes of the people in this world, Graeme is completely dead.

But now someone seems to have found a blind spot.

Karko took the clay doll in Spa's hand and looked at it again and again.

Graeme can use simple materials as the main body, and the only expense is on the magic technology.

But not all magic technologies require money. Runes do not require money. All it takes is time.

Karl felt the clay doll in his hand, with surprise flashing in his eyes, and Kuirat beside him also realized the key, but she was also someone who had learned magic patterns and come into contact with runes.

She soon realized a problem.

"But if Grem is made of clay as its main material, how many runes can it withstand?"

An important reason why Rune technology cannot surpass magic technology is that there is an upper limit to the number of Runes that can be engraved on an object.

Two hundred years ago, the peak of rune technology in the Dwarven Kingdom was just six rune runes engraved on a giant hammer. That hammer alone was known as the giant hammer that shook the earth and was the national treasure of the Dwarven Kingdom.
